What Hippocrates said

Hippocrates was a Greek Nutritionist, Physician & Surgeon who lived 400 years before Jesus Christ was born.  He is considered “The Father of Medicine” & completely laid out  these 10 rules which have been largely ignored by the medical profession, to this time.

1. THE NATURAL WAY IS THE ONLY WAY!
   Note: This should be an obvious medical pursuit, according to Mother Nature and Hippocrates.
   
   
2. TREAT THE CAUSE OF AN ILLNESS NOT THE SYMPTOM!
   Note: Modern synthetic drugs just mask the illness, but never deal with the origin.
   
   
3. LOOK TO THE SPINE FOR ILLNESSES!
   Note: Hippocrates strongly suggested this – modern day Chiropractic  treatment.
   
   
4. THROW AWAY YOUR DRUGS & HEAL THE PEOPLE WITH FOOD!
   (Food is medicine and medicine is food)
   Note: Hippocrates knew that food had health giving qualities – now known as Protein, Vitamins, & Minerals.
   
   
5. MOST ILLNESSES CAN BE PREVENTED BY EATING NATURAL FOODS!
   Note: The majority of foods Americans consume are processed, refined, overcooked, denuded, chemicalized, and grown in mineral depleted soil.
   
   
6. A HEALTHY COLON IS ESSENTIAL!
   Note: The U.S. Government reports that colon problems are dramatically increasing in America.
   
   
7. DO NOT ADMINISTER DANGEROUS & HARMFUL DRUGS!
   Note: The F.D.A. admits that prescription drugs kill 50,000 – 350,00 people a year in America.
   
   
8. DO NO HARM TO YOUR PATIENTS!
   Note: The New England Journal of Medicine reports that the end result of most drug therapy is harmful side effects.
   
   
9. DO NOT PERFORM SURGERY FOR MONEY!
   Note: the U.S. Government reports that 75% of all surgeries in this country are unnecessary.
   
   
10. THE WORD PROTEIN MEANS MOST IMPORTANT!
    Note: Hippocrates named Protein as the most essential food we should consume. As the greater percentage of our bodies are comprised of it.  Carbohydrates are secondary.

"The Doctor of the future will give little medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
~Thomas Edison

Edison's vision for the "Doctor of the Future" is coming to pass. People today are aware of their lifestyle issues and are interested in taking responsibility for their own health. Now they are seeking information on health and in strategies for disease prevention. They realize that being an active participant, in collaboration with their healthcare providers, is the means to fulfilling their quest for optimal health.

This emerging healthcare model recognizes a redefined doctor/patient partnership and places and increased emphasis on the importance of nutrition in both the preventative and functional medicine paradigms. The "Doctor of the Future" relies on proven principals from the nutritional sciences to support the physiological aspects of wellness.
